Four charged over Cheshire drugs conspiracy

FOUR men have been charged over the large-scale supply of heroin in Cheshire and the North West.

Tariq Kaliq, 43, of Wilmslow, and Imran Malik, 38, Gameal Adawee, 44, and Alan Holding, 47, all of Warrington, were arrested between April 19 and May 6 after 10kg of heroin with a street value of about £1 million was recovered during a joint police operation.

All four men have been charged with various drugs offences, including conspiracy to supply and possession with intent to supply controlled drugs in what was thought to be a Cheshire-wide drugs ring, and are awaiting trial.

They are due to appear at Chester Crown Court on May 19.

Operation Komodo was a pro-active investigation into the supply of Class A drugs jointly carried out by Cheshire Constabulary’s Force Crime Operations Unit, West Midlands Police and the National Crime Agency.
